Default Postage fee's advice

I'm looking at selling stuff on the bay, any idea's on postage fee's though?
How much does the Post Office pay for posting packages and could someone tell me what weight costs what? Bit fussy but the internet hasn't answered me

Thanks

its a nightmare judging prices..it depends if its a small package, parcel, letter etc as well as weight..only definite way to find out is take it to the po before you quote postage price..all i did when i was selling was look at similar items and get an average of what other people were charging

Was gonna say, all post office prices are on the web. Just weigh want you're selling. Just a note, always get proof of postage or recorded, and for anything over Ł10 i'd get tracking on it.

Royal mail is pretty good tbh

I sent a brand new wind/rain coat this week that was too big for the missus on fleabay, I posted it 1st class recorded and once it was delivered i was able to actually print off the signature from the person that signed for it on the scanner gun.

Pretty good especially in this day and age where folk dont think twice about then saying they never recieved it etc etc and demand refunds when they have it all the time, I have mate ex neighbour of mine that did that all the time
